I am trying to make it so a user can input 3 numbers and when they click the submit button they will see a modal with the calculations from these 3 numbers within the modal. I am unsure how to accomplish this. I have the calculation in my controller.
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
def how_much
@price = (params[:amount])
@mortgage = (params[:high_rent])
@rent = (params[:current_rent])
if @price && @mortgage && @rent.present?
@monthly_savings = @mortgage - @rent
@savings_goal = @price*0.03
@months_to_buy = (@savings_goal/@monthly_savings).to_i
@total_savings = @monthly_savings * @months_to_buy
else
@months_to_buy = 24
@total_savings = "great savings"
end
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: {:months_to_buy => @months_to_buy, :total_savings => @total_savings}}
end
end
end
My form is as follows...
<%= form_tag( '/welcome/how_much', post: true, remote: true) do %>
<h5 class="label">Estimated new home cost?</h5>
<%= text_field_tag 'price', nil, placeholder: 'ex. 100,000', class: "form-control form-control-lg" %>
<h5 class="label">Estimated payment for a new home?</h5>
<%= text_field_tag 'mortgage', nil, placeholder: 'ex. 1,200', class: "form-control form-control-lg" %>
<h5 class="label">Current Monthly Rent?</h5>
<%= text_field_tag 'rent', nil, placeholder: 'ex. 800', class: "form-control form-control-lg" %>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#savingsModal">

<% end %>
Finally, here is the CoffeeScript I have. It has the calculations as well but I am unsure if I should do the calculations in the CoffeeScript or in the controller. I have no idea if I am doing this right or I am COMPLETELY OFF BASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!
# Calculate Savings jQuery
price = document.getElementsByName('house_amount')[0].value
mortgage = document.getElementsByName('high_rent')[0].value
rent = document.getElementsByName('current_rent')[0].value
MonthlySavings: (mortgage, rent) ->
if mortgage? && rent?
parseFloat(mortgage) - parseFloat(rent)
SavingsGoal: (price) ->
if price?
parseFloat(price) * 0.03
MonthsToBuy: (Savings_goal,MonthlySavings) ->
if SavingsGoal? && MonthlySavings?
parseFloat(SavingsGoal)/parseFloat(MonthlySavings)
TotalSavings: (MonthlySavings,MonthsToBuy) ->
if MonthlySavings? && MonthsToBuy?
parseFloat(MonthlySavings) * parseFloat(MonthsToBuy)
